Assistance and Services
Viterbo University is Military and Veteran Friendly
One of the core
values at Viterbo is hospitality. Viterbo
faculty and staff members are dedicated to coaching students to academic
success. Viterbo’s commitment and gratitude
to service men and women is reflected in the many student services provided. The
following provide specific assistance for military students and veterans:
Academic Resource Center
Viterbo’s veteran
students have full access to learning and academic writing center services
through the Academic Resource Center. Assistance with study skills, note
taking, test taking, and writing skills are available during daytime hours or
in the evening by appointment. Special accommodative services are available
through the Academic Resource Center for students with disabilities.
Campus Ministry
Fr.
Conrad Targonski, OFM, serves as a special friend, confidant, and mentor to military
and veteran students. Fr. Targonski, university chaplain, served in the military, where he traveled with enlisted men and
women to many parts of the world including deployments in war zone locales. He
retired in September 2010 from the U.S. Navy Chaplain Corps with a rank of
captain, having served the Marine Corps for 22 years.
Career
Services
Military and veteran students needing assistance in
finding employment opportunities may work with the career services office to
address their specific needs. Students may also consider internship
opportunities that provide a blend of work and learning experience. Staff

interview skills, and other services as needed. The career services office
maintains connections with the VA representative for Iowa Workforce Development
